Dinwiddie County police say a man who accidentally shot and killed himself at a party thought the gun was unloaded.
Sheriff D.T. Adams tells The Progress-Index that the shooting occurred at a residence in the Dewitt area around 2 a.m. Saturday.
Adams says witnesses told police 19-year-old James Crawford was playing with a semi-automatic pistol when it discharged.
The incident remains under investigation.
